Chapter 7

For weeks, after the planet, Jack and the other humans tried to get Xander to tell them more of the story behind whatever made those claw marks but he wouldn't tell them anymore. Xander and Teal'c also returned back to Chulak to try to stop Rya'c from being implanted with a symbiote.

Xander was horrified to learn that they weren't going to allow Rya'c to be implanted as this would doom him to a wasting death but, eventually, Teal'c ended up giving his symbiote to Rya'c, but thankfully he got another one, while Xander and Bra'Tac had a talk.

Bra'Tac looked at his son who by all means he should've hated him, after all he was a traitor to both his people and his god but as he looked at Xander, who stared back at him sadly, Bra'Tac took him in a hug and said, "My son, never have I been prouder of you and may you and Teal'c's dreams of freedom burn through the armies of the Goa'uld and help them cast off the chains of slavery."

As Xander left Chulak again O'Neill patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your father, he is one of a kind ain't he?"

Bra'Tac watched them leave and felt a warm wind, he froze; it was like when Xander first appeared to him, he heard that same whisper, 'Now is when everything changes, I thank you Bra'Tac of Chulak for caring for him until now.'

He walked back to his home shaking his head; something was going on and he was part of it.

Several weeks later and Xander found himself in the presence of one of the Goa'uld; the false goddess Hathor had arisen and she had managed to find the Chappa'ai. She looked at him with something that made him uneasy and when she had talked to Daniel he acted like he was smitten with her.

She walked over towards him and breathed something on to him, the pink substance hurt his nose and Xander felt his symbiote hiss at the scent, it was most unpleasant.

"So, I am informed Ra is dead," Hathor said with joy in her voice, "This is indeed great news," but frowned when she saw the symbols of Apophis on Teal'c's and Xander's heads, "So, you are servants of the snake?"

"No," Xander said, "I am a free Jaffa."

Hathor laughed inwardly, 'Free? The Jaffa shall never be free; they are slaves for all time,' she thought, 'Though it's a shame that he's a Jaffa.'

A couple of hours later Xander noted that most of the men on the base were acting like idiots but he noticed that a couple of them were being disrespectful towards the women.

Xander attempted to intervene when Teal'c whispered, "Not yet my brother, we must pretend to be her slaves for now."

"Yes," Xander growled, "But this is disrespectful with the way they are acting."

"They are not themselves my brother, whatever Hathor has done to them makes them like this," Teal'c said, "Making them act like they are drunk so try not to be horrified by what they say."

Xander nodded, as he walked down a hallway when he saw O'Neill, who was staring at him strangely.

"Hey," Jack said, "Xan, I want to talk to you about something, privately."

As they went into a private office Jack pulled him towards and whispered, "Don't know what it is right now but I feel like I can tell you anything."

"Of what did you wish to discuss O'Neill?" Xander said as he stiffened as one of Jack's hands went up and ran through his hair.

Xander was getting confused while Jack whispered, "Your hair is as soft as I thought it would be."

Jack smiled dopily and took Xander into a kiss causing the Jaffa to blush; he whispered things in to Xander's ears causing Xander to blush even further. He had no idea what those words meant but he'd have to discuss them with Captain Carter, she always seemed glad to explain Tau'ri words to him.

"So Xan, I'm sure you're wondering what I'm talking about?" Jack purred.

"You are not yourself O'Neill…" Xander said but his sentence was broken by Jack kissing him again, trying to force his tongue down Xander's throat.

"I've been so into you for more than a month," Jack whispered as he broke the kiss, "You are the perfect man for me and please, call me Jack."

Xander was confused; did O'Neill wish to take him as a mate? He thought to himself, 'It wouldn't be too bad; O'Neill was strong, capable and a good leader. He would be welcomed as a mate,' but he shook his head, he would discuss this with O'Neill after, he could not take advantage of the other man in this condition.

He managed to convince O'Neill that they should wait he ran down the hall still wondering what those words he used as they seemed somewhat familiar but he would discuss this with Carter later, Jack smiled and said, "Sure," as he had been called to visit Hathor.

Teal'c sighed as Xander came into his room, his face flush, and said, "Brother, were you attacked?"

"You could say that brother," Xander said and told him of what O'Neil's intentions were but Teal'c looked confused.

"I have no idea what any of those words mean my brother," Teal'c said looking at Xander puzzled expression.

"We shall find Carter, she shall explain these things to us," Xander said with certainty, he wanted to know what Jack wanted from him.

"I was just informed that the women of the base were imprisoned for disobeying Hathor's orders," Teal'c said, "I believe that whatever she uses to influence the men does not work on Jaffa or women."

Xander glared, "We have to save the women, we need the numbers that they could provide."

"Let us go to the brig then, so we can gain their freedom," Teal'c said as they walked towards the brig and they saw that the women were already free.

Sam held a gun at them and Xander said, "Carter, we are immune to Hathor's control, our symbiotes protect us."

She shook her head and muttered, "What don't they protect you from? Anyways we need to find her."

As they split into two groups Xander led them down to a room where he found a pool with Jack sitting in the middle of it and Xander held his hand up, Jack looked dazed confused of where he was as Xander put his hand into the pool and pulled out a symbiote, Carter looked ill while Xander pulled Jack out of the pool.

"Hey Xan," Jack said as Xander pulled his shirt up, "You want to see me shirtless? All you had to do was ask."

Sam looked at Xander and, despite the situation, giggled at his blush; she very rarely saw him flustered so this was beyond funny for her.

"What the hell!" she yelled as they pulled Jack's shirt up and saw a pouch, Xander stuck his hand in and felt around and breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't have a symbiote in him.

"Carter," he said, "We must help him; what Doctor Frasier calls his 'immune system' was destroyed and he cannot live without a symbiote."

She saw the sarcophagus that Hathor brought with her and said, "Would this heal him?"

"Possibly," Xander said, "its healing powers are great," as he picked O'Neill up and put him in the machine and watched as Carter used the controls to heal him.

They heard sounds of fighting; the women had somehow defeated the men and Hathor was fleeing, Xander growled as he heard Teal'c's voice over the intercom, "Captain Carter, Hathor has set your explosive device."

Sam groaned and said, "Xander, make sure the Colonel is safe."

"You have my word," Xander said as he waited.

As he waited a few of mind controlled soldiers came in wielding staff weapons, they looked at him and fired at the sarcophagus causing it to short circuit.

Xander growled, he hoped the device had enough time to work on O'Neill, as he opened it Jack started to cough violently as he brushed away the smoke, he saw the men look at him and aim their weapons at him.

But as suddenly as Hathor left through the Stargate the men looked confused and Xander managed to take their weapons away.

Jack looked at the pool filled with the symbiotes and took Xander's staff weapon and fired into it repeatedly, killing the creatures.

After the General was debriefed on what Hathor had done to him and the men he put commendations for the women of the base and for Xander and Teal'c. Xander returned to his room to think about what Jack had done to him but his thoughts were disturbed by someone knocking on his door, he opened the door and saw Jack at it.

"O'Neill, is there something I can do for you?" Xander asked as Jack came in.

"Yeah Xander, there is," Jack said, "About what I did to you when I was all, well, you know."

"When you were under the influence of Hathor?" Xander said, "It is alright, I am not offended."

Jack smiled slightly, got his hopes up and said, "So Xander, would you like to come to my house this weekend? I'd like to show you more of our world and you could learn more, other than watching TV or books."

Xander looked confused and said, "Is there nothing else you wish to discuss with me?"

"This weekend Xander," Jack said, "I'll explain everything to you, if you want."

"Then I shall come to visit you at your house this weekend," Xander said as he closed the door he missed the small smile on Jack's face.
